Returning player seeking Groups for content pre- SA

Hi, just returned since being away 2000. Everyone seems to be so advanced now I am all lost. Don't know what good weapons to have or armor. Where to get it etc etc.... I only recall gm valrite being the best lol.

Basicly I don't want to go buying SA when I have so much content to cover before hand. Where can I find groups of people who want to party and do doom, mondain legacy content like peerless etc and the rest of it all? I just finding myself in shame hunting which was in thing in 2009 along with destard lol
